Is NJP Shatabdi fastest Diesel Shatabdi or may be the fastest Diesel train on IR??
---------------------------------------
Many questions and critics arise while saying that it never hits 130 MPS or some say that how can be the average so low if its the fastest. Well the Answer is here !!
======================
Here...
more... are two videos taken of 12041 NJP Shatabdi. One in the HB Chord Section SKG/Saktigarh and other one in SBG Loop section JTL/Jhapterdhal for comparision.
Now, All the factors should be same for comparison. Here at SKG/Saktigarh HB Chord SF trains skip from PF1 which is a straight track without any Switches and at JTL/Jhapterdhal is passes via middle through line which is even more straighter than SKG Through line because it is constant from KAN/Khana JN Loop bridge and due to the slope after the bridge it gets more better chance to hit MPS than flat HB Chord in the electrified section. SO,Lets see what Actually happened or everyday happens.
========================
1)HB CHORD -> 12041 DN NJP Shatabdi Skips SKG/Saktigarh with WDP 4 #20014 Baaz Livery at flat 130.266 Kmph (Was with 10 Coaches and crossed in 8 seconds).
2) SBG LOOP -> 12041 DN NJP Shatabdi Skips JTL/Jhapterdhal with WDP 4 #20000 Baaz Livery at mere 81.13 Kmph (Was with 11 coaches and crossed in 13.94 seconds).
==========================
So, this survey proves that due to 110 restrictions in the SBG Loop it is reduced to an Avg Speed of 70 Kmph otherwise this train could be even more faster and nearly 80-85 Kmph of average speed.
And Yeah Proudly, This is the fastest Diesel train in function in IR. Wait for the electrification this has very much clear chance to be one of the fastest trains in the history of IR !!!

Video of SBG LOOP(81 Kmph) given in the post and HB CHORD is provided by giving separate link in the post.
